Born at The Civic Hospital sixty-three years ago, I grew up in Leslie Park, Nepean. I graduated from Sir Robert Borden H. S. on Greenbank Road and then later took some small business and website building courses at Algonquin College.

I am currently divorced with no children. I enjoyed the freedom and adventure of driving a taxi in Nepean for many years. I loved being able to deal with all kinds of people in all kinds of circumstances. Elected by my fellow cab drivers to the City of Ottawa Taxi Advisory Committee shortly after amalgamation, I fought hard against the taxi union and the taxi management, as well as against the city. I was only interested in serving our customers to the best of my ability. And I didn't like how the taxi industry and its terrible licensing system seemed to care less and less about our customer service. Nobody could foresee the advent of Uber but it is not surprising the taxi industry was turned upside down.

I started my mobile bike service, Bikemobile at the same time as I was driving a taxi. I am now very busy every spring as the best bike tune-up guy in town. My most famous current customer is our former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I had the priviledge and honour of serving his family's bikes at the Rideau Cottage for the last two years. I would be thrilled to now serve Mark Carney at the Cottage as well hopefully continuing to serve Justin at wherever he has moved to as a single dad without the pressure of his previous job. I haven't met Justin yet but did get to say hi to his estranged wife Sophie and his youngest son.

I have long had a growing distaste for our Ottawa Greenbelt and do not understand why it is allowed to continue in its current form. That distaste and confusion lead me to run in the last municipal election for Ward 9-Knoxdale/Merivale. My large urban ward is half cornfield and I find this unnacceptable. And I ran in the recent provincial election in my Nepean riding. With only one purpose in mind. To raise awareness to the fact that we have the Dumbest Farms in the Entire World, in the worst Greenbelt in that same amazing but crazy world.

Vote for me in Osgoode to pledge your support for my ideas. And if I were to win the election somehow I promise to happily and immediately move out to your area. I am a country boy at heart. And will become the biggest most outspoken advocate of your ward ever, and a caring expert in all concerns.

I want to change our great city and then I have much bigger plans to change our whole world.

Contact me at Bikeman@Bikemobile.ca if you wish to help or to say hi, or just to tell me how much you hate everything about me and my ideas. I am well used to that. I want to reach everyone, everywhere.

THANK YOU so very much for reading this.
